MOP.

1o au whom it may'concer/n.:V

Be it known that I, ALFRED T. CHANNELL, a subject of the King of GreatBritaimand a resident ofthe city of Chicago, county of Cook, and Stateof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mops,of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to mops and particularly to the class of mops whichis provided with a permanent head rigidly secured to a handle and theobject of my improvement is to provide a device of this character whichwill be simple of construction and eiiioient in operation.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of partshereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawing forming a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 isa longitudinal section of a mop built in accordance with my invention,and- Fig. 2 is aview, in perspective, of such a mop.

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawing,comprises a mop proper made up of'mop strands 3 secured transverselybetween the inner lining 4 and the outer fabric 5. The mop strands 3 aresecured between the lining4 and the outside fabric 5 by means ofstitchings 6, then they are bent longitudinally of such lining andoutside fabric 5 and furnished wit the stitching 7 to form a frameholding'loop as clearly indicated in the drawing. In such loop issecured triangularly shaped frame 8. The ends of such frame 8 are notjoinedV in order to permit of adjusting the vmop fabric in the positionindicated in the drawings. 0n the inner side ofthe outer fabric, mopstrands and inner lining 4 are pro, vided eyelets 9 to afford a meansfor attaching the handle to such frame portion 8.

The U-shaped member 10 is secured to the frame 8 by means of screws 11inserted through suitable openings in such frame 10 through said eyelets.9, and threaded into the frame 8. The handle 12 -is secured to con-Specication of Letters Patent.

necting members 13 by means of bolts 14 and such members 13 are rigidlysecured to the U-shaped member 10 by means of rivets 15 as clearlyillustrated in the drawings.

The mop is formed in substantially triangular shape in order to rovidesuch a device which can be used 1n cornersy and other places where it isdifficult to reach with a square or round mop. Such mop head may beremoved from the U-shaped member 10 by unscrewing the screws 11 and anew head secured to the handle when the old one has worn out, when it isso desired. While I have illustrated and described the `preferred formof constructionfor carryin my invention into effect, this is capableovariation and modification without departingl from the spirit of theinvention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited. to the exact detailsof construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variationsand modifications as come Within the scope `of .the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to. secureby Letters Patent is: 1. A mop comprising a triangul'arly /shaped framehaving its ends separated at one of its angular portions; mop materialon said frame; a U-shaped member having its bight portion secured to oneside of said triangularly shaped frame and Ifits ends'secured to theends of such frame; and a handle rigidly secured to said U-shapedmember, substantially as described.

` 2. .A mop comprising a triangular frame split at one of its corners;mop material on, said triangular frame; eyelets in said mop' material;al substantially U-shapedmember having perforations registering withsaid eyelets; screws through said eyelets and perfor-ations and threadedin-said triangular frame; and a handle secured to said U- shaped member.

3. A mop comprising a lining fabric rebent longitudinally, an outsidefabric rebent longitudinally; mopstrands secured transversely betweensaid outside fabricand said lining fabric; and ,a stitching through thelongitudinal ed es of said lining fabric and outsdefabric orming a loopportion; vand a substantially trangularly shaped frame i1- name to thisspecification in the presence of said loop portion; eyelets in saidlining, said two subscribing Witnesses. outer fabric and said mopstrands to permit Y of a communication therethrough With said ALFRED T'CHANNELL' triangular, frame, substantially as de- 'Vtnesses: scribed,JOSHUA R.
